Penn State vs. Iowa: How to watch and what you need to know

Penn State's 41-14 demolition of Iowa last season was the team's fifth straight Big Ten win since the 49-10 walloping at the hands of Michigan. Now they will meet again Saturday in a night game at Kinnick Stadium.

Joe Moorhead's offense was confident and clicking and the defense held Iowa's Akrum Wadley, LeShun Daniels Jr. and quarterback C.J. Beathard to just 30 total yards rushing.

Key returning players, Iowa: On the offensive side of the ball, it's all about senior running back Akrum Wadley. One of a pair of rushers who eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark last season for the Hawkeyes, Wadley is a shifty, speedster who can break off a long run. The Hawkeyes don't exactly sling the ball all over the field and sophomore quarterback Nathan Stanley only saw very limited action (9 total passing attempts) behind C.J. Beathard. On defense, Iowa returns one of the best linebackers in the Big Ten in Josey Jewel. They also return defensive end A.J. Epenesa to bolster what should be a stalwart defensive line.
